Traffic jams on Mumbai-Pune Expressway

The drive is supposed to be a fast & furious one, but mine proved to be a miserable one on 19-Nov-2006. I was stuck for over an hour near the lonavala section of Mum-Pune Expressway. Horrible as it was, the traffic hardly moved, and to make matters worse Trucks and Buses occupied all three lanes making it impossible to manouver & judge distance of the blockade.

About a kilometer into the jam, I discovered two huge trailers stuck right next to each other, in different lanes! Can you imagine that, and inspite of this strech being close to humanity, there was only one policeman(?) who merely stood there observing - gods knows what.
